March 15, 2015 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California Butterfly Exhibit

D800 Nikor 24-120 ISO6400 1/400 f/5 RAW White Balance Auto Processed in Lightroom, NIK and PhotoshopCC2014

This is one of the shots taken after I rebooted the stuck camera. I did not realize that ISO Auto was one of the factory settings to which it reverted.

Thank you in advance for your comments. devil

Looks pretty clean for 6400. Could use a little level adjusment to brighten up just a touch.

Hey Patrick,

What a great shot of a very Cool Butterfly.

The re-post looks too bright on my monitor with the original look'n very sweet and if it is too dark, not by much at all, not enough to worry about.

laugh Man !

This is a great look at this bf, Patrick. I agree with Mike that the original post looks just about right. The starkness of the stripes has me wondering about oversharpening, but since I'm not familiar with the bf, that may be real.

Beautiful, Patrick! This really shows your command of technique and execution, and has a wonderful artistic quality as well. The opposite colours (approximately opposites on the colour wheel) between your subject and background tones are a subtle roundhouse that sneaks up without being aware of it but impacts nonetheless. Really nice.
